Christ is Risen! EASTER MESSAGE OF HIS BEATITUDE SVIATOSLAV Христос Воскрес!

Once again we gather in Ukraine and throughout the world to greet one another on the glorious feast of our Lord’s Resurrection. For more than a year we have been traveling along a special way of the cross, and, in human terms, it may seem difficult to speak of joy. However, Paschal joy comes not from men, but from God! Today all creation proclaims Christ’s victory over evil and death: “This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.” […] Today on its native lands our Church is called to give out the prophetic voice of victory over idolatry, deceit, and violence. The Risen Lord dispelled the fear of the Apostles, saying: “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you” (Jn 20:21). These words also speak to us and give us strength not only to stand against the enemy, but to also con-quer our interior ills: loss of faith, fatigue, fear. […] The peace of Christ is threatened not only in Ukraine. Far and wide, where true Christians proclaim the Risen Lord and live according to the Gospel, old persecutions have reignited and new challenges emerge. We pray for the conversion of those who in words proclaim the Risen Lord but in action do works of evil and deceit, which remains deeply rooted in human hearts. In a special way, we pray for our brothers and sisters in Ukrainian Crimea and the Donbas, as well as for our Christian brothers and sisters in the Middle East who are being perse-cuted unto martyrdom. We understand how the faith is threatened by the self-assured consumerist culture of a West that has forgotten its Christian roots and values. We might think that in our spiritual struggle it is as if we are surrounded on all sides. That is why the prophet’s prayer is also our prayer: “Will you not hear? Will you not respond? Will you not save?” Today we who call out to God against the violence and lies, we who stand in watchful prayer, receive the brilliant angel, who proclaims the victory of the Risen Christ. He brings solace and peace to those who mourn the dead, gives assuredness of His victory over violence, aggression, malice, and untruth. […] Beloved in Christ! On this luminous day of Christ’s Resur-rection I long to share this Paschal joy with you. […] This greeting is also addressed to our faithful throughout the world who share the pain of their family and friends in the native land, and provide assistance, each according to his or her abil-ity, in prayer and material support. Wherever we are, let us proclaim a true Revolution of Dignity which can only be found-ed on a constant conversion to the Risen Christ, and on the fulfillment of His Gospel in our lives. […] I send you my heartfelt festive greetings. May this feast of Our Lord’s Resurrection bring you blessings, a tasty sharing of our traditional blessed egg, and a Paschal joy that is full of light. The grace of our Risen Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God the Father, and the com-munion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Christ is risen! – Truly, He is risen! + SVIATOSLAV Given in Kyiv 5 April 2015 A.D. Full text: http://stjosaphateparchy.com/news/

EASTER MESSAGE OF THE BISHOPS OF CANADA

Christ is Risen! – Indeed He is Risen!

“Behold, today is the day of the Resurrection, let us glory in the

Feast; let us embrace one another in joy…” from Resurrection

Matins

The glorious proclamation of Our Lord’s Resurrection

marks the most joyous and transformative event in human

history. During the Resurrection Matins we are overwhelmed

by the power of God’s graciousness, a power that moves us to

recognize more clearly the meaning of life itself: human life.

“Come, o faithful! Let us drink a new drink . . . springing from

the tomb which is a fountain of immortality.” On this day our

world is transfigured; we stand with the apostles on Mt. Tabor

and revel in the transfigured Lord who teaches us that death is

conquered, the devil is vanquished!

This joyous day, this new day, this feast of feasts fills us

with a renewed sense of hope that our earthly trials will pass,

that our suffering will not endure. This new day, that comes

through the cross and tomb, reminds us that even the evil of

injustice and war shall not endure. In spite of the horrors that

our brothers and sisters in Ukraine face, they too sing these

joyous hymns today and they too will know the victory of love

over hatred, truth over lies, life over death!

“Today is the day of the Resurrection” and we pass from

death to life. Today we “cleanse our senses that we may be able

to contemplate Christ.” Today we come to know life—in its

fullness! But today we also pray that we “who dwell on earth,

[be made] worthy to glorify [God] with pure hearts.” Our hearts

must be made pure because, like the myrrh-bearing women, we

are called to carry the truth of this New Life into a world that

lives in the shadow of death; a world that too often ignores the

power of Christ’s Resurrection. We must be witnesses of the

passage through the Cross to Life, where in the name of so-

called compassion, many countries have opened the door to

doctor-assisted suicide. On this Resurrection day our parish

communities, every one of us, are called to reflect Christ’s Life

and Love. We are called to overcome a culture of death with

the vibrant embrace of true Christian compassion, a

compassion which means (as the Latin word portrays) being

with the one who suffers. This calls us to commit to a joy that

proclaims the value of human life, the value of our dependence

on each other. Today reaffirms our commitment to welcome

those who despair of their lives into an embrace of care and

value that radiates the joy of life with Christ! We remind the

world of the Innocent One who “through His sufferings … has

clothed [us] mortals with the splendour of incorruption.” Thus,

“we sing a hymn of praise to Your passion and we glorify Your

Resurrection.”

We are the bearers of this great joy, of this great news, for

“a glorious Passover has shone upon us, a Passover of the Lord,

a Passover perfectly honourable: let us then embrace one

another with joy” so that together we may sing:

“Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by

death! And to those in the tombs He granted life.” The blessing of the Lord be upon you!

Happy Easter Easter is a very happy time. At Easter, we all remember that Jesus rose From the dead. Easter also reminds us that Jesus promised us New Life with Him forever. We have many ways to celebrate Easter. Some people bring food to church on Easter Sunday. The priest blesses the food. He prays that everyone who eats the blessed Food will be healthy and happy. Many people color eggs on Easter. The egg is a sign of new life. The colored eggs remind people that Jesus gives life. There is even a special Easter word. The Easter word is Alleluia. Alleluia means “shout with happiness to God.” We all say the /Easter word at Mass. It shows how happy we are that God loves us So much. Thank you to all the children who led the “The Way of the Cross” last week! They did a marvelous job, we can’t for their next celebration!!
